Clear instruction.

At the beginning of the summer of 2022 in Russia, you can officially pay for iCloud, Apple Music, apps from the App Store only from the balance of linked Beeline or MTS mobile phones. Here’s how it’s done!

How to pay for iCloud from iPhone

If you are not an MTS or Beeline subscriber, then ask your friend, relative or acquaintance for a short time for an MTS or Beeline phone to link it to your iPhone for a short time. To replenish the payment balance of your iPhone to pay for subscriptions. And then untie the phone and return it back to the owner. Do it like this.

If your friend is not only a Beeline or MTS subscriber, but also the owner of an iPhone, then he can link his mobile number to an Apple ID (if he hasn’t done it yet, here’s how) and transfer the amount to you “as a gift”. Any iPhone owner with a cell phone linked to it can transfer an amount to another iPhone owner, which the latter can use to purchase apps from the App Store and pay for Apple subscriptions.

How to transfer finance to pay for Apple subscriptions from one iPhone to another

To transfer money from one Apple ID to the balance of another, you need to open the App Store application on your iPhone, click on the account icon in the upper right corner and then follow the link “Send a gift card by e-mail”. At the next stage, all that remains is to enter the recipient’s e-mail, select the amount (it must be on the balance of the mobile phone linked to the iPhone), select the date of departure and click “Next”. The minimum amount for such transfers is 500 rubles, and the maximum is 9000 rubles.

How to get money on your iPhone from a friend

To credit the amount to the balance of your iPhone, you need to open the App Store application, tap on the account avatar in the upper right corner and click on the link “Redeem a gift card or code” in the window that opens. This code will be sent to you by email.

Important point! To renew your current iCloud, Apple Music subscriptions, you can use a transfer from a friend. But you won’t be able to buy new apps or sign up for new Apple Music or iCloud subscriptions. When you try to sign up for a new subscription, iPhone will ask you to add a payment method, or simply put, link your mobile phone to your Apple ID.

Without linking your mobile phone to your iPhone, buying new apps from the App Store and signing up for new iCloud or Apple Music subscriptions is currently not possible.

To pay for iCloud and Apple Music subscriptions, some iPhone owners in Russia are forced to become MTS or Beeline subscribers. To do this, it is not at all necessary to switch to these telecom operators. You can apply for a new tariff in MTS or Beeline without even going to their office. For example, make a virtual SIM card eSIM. If your iPhone supports eSIM technology (here is a list of such iPhones). An example of how gracefully our reader did it in half an hour (nickname “Lake”) read in her comments on our Yandex Zen channel.

Despite the simplicity of the instructions, some people have problems. Most often they are associated with telecom operators MTS or Beeline. If you encounter errors when linking your phone or topping up your Apple ID balance from a linked phone, we recommend the following:

  • Read instructions on the MTS website about using the MTS mobile account to pay in the App Store
  • Browse instructions on the Beeline website about paying for the App Store from a Beeline mobile account
  • If you did not find the answer to your question on the official websites of MTS or Beeline operators, then write to their support service.
  • Is there still a problem? Then write in a comment to you or in a comment to any topic in our Telegram channel.
